New York A05728 places a permanent moratorium on unfunded mandates.

New York A05728 amends the legislative law to establish a permanent moratorium on unfunded mandates. This means no state law can require local governments to undertake new programs, projects, or activities without providing the necessary funding. Exceptions include mandates required by court orders, those provided at the option of local governments, those resulting from home rule requests, and those funded by fees, state or federal funds, or savings from other programs. The bill takes effect immediately but applies only to laws enacted after its effective date.
